Sherman Ali has now alleged that Congress had brought in some conditions to revoke his suspension.
Among the conditions, Sherman said that APCC president Bhupen Bora has asked him not to speak to the media and also has asked him to not speak about the minority issues.
He added, “Congress is a secular party but this condition seems to be quite disturbing. I do not understand how could Bhupen Bora put such a condition.”

“If 51 percent of people in my constituency ask me to stay in Congress and accept the conditions, then I will quit politics. But, if the majority asks me to stand by my grounds, then I will take the matter to the party high command and then the ball will be in their court”, he added.
